relsa: Relative Severity Assessment Score

In mytalbot/RELSA: Relative Severity Assessment Score

Relative Severity Assessment Score

Description

The relsa function calculates a composite relative severity score based on normalized differences. Further, the values are regularized with a reference set to estimate relative severity.

Usage

relsa(set, bsl, a = 1, drop = NULL, turnvars = NULL, relsaNA = NA)

Arguments

set	dataset sample data frame
bsl	reference or baseline data (must be in RELSA format, see relsa_load)
a	unique animal index in data set
drop	character vector of variables to drop
turnvars	variables with inverted development under severity (i.e. temperature might rise or drop depending on the actual animal model)
relsaNA	codes how to handle NaN values during calculations (default is NA)

Value

relsa list with RELSA results (differences and weights plus RELSA score)

Examples

## Not run: 
RELSA <- relsa(set=testset, bsl, a=1, drop=c("bw","score"), turnvars="temp")

## End(Not run)
